San Juan

Jason had to go to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to work. I got to go with him for once. It was nice to get away just the two of us. Mom and Dad kept the kids while we were gone. Claire only had one meltdown for her mommy.

Jason and I traveled all around San Juan in a rental car. The traffic made me a nervous wreak. The people over there do not believe in stopping or yielding to the people who have the right away. Everyone over there believes they have the right away.

The highlights of the trip included Old San Juan, the rain forest, and the beautiful beaches. We did get lost a few times and end up in some very bad parts of town. It is not a place where you can walk around late at night.

On Saturday morning, Jason awoke to the bed shaking. He looked at me and thought I was sleeping. He asked me later if I felt the bed shaking that morning. I told him yes but I thought he had a cramp in his leg and he was trying to get the cramp out of his leg. He told me no. We later found out that we had been in our first earthquake. I thought the people were joking when they told us.

The trip was nice but I am glad to be home. The welcome we received back from the kids was great.
